[Oblivion437]

Something I think that needs to be added onto my point, Moore called Heston evil, at least once in his defense of BfC, so to say that he has an agenda against Heston and the NRA (further supported by other words in his post) isn't at all conjecture...

Then to say that his editing which effectively reversed the tone of a speech made by his apparent enemy, from a speech that commands honest respect, to a speech that commands honest disgust, is perfectly understable, it fits in with his agenda...

To say that he employed multi-take editing on the Heston walk-out isn't conjecture, any film editor can tell you that he must have. Considering his agenda, considering his tactics, considering his credibility, hell, just plain considering his character at large (no pun intended) it's not an effort at all to leave it open for discussion that he may have inserted a take for dramatic effect that in the process creates a totally different impression of Heston the man than we'd get without Moore's helpful little insert.

The only conjecture about that point is what's missing? Clearly, the first take's optical sound track is missing, so we can only assume what fits in with this particular case, and I'm inclined to assume that Moore's unedited version of the scene makes him look like even more of a rat-bastard...

When you understand enough about the technological limitations of film, what Moore has said in defense of it and elsewhere, what Hardy says looks less and less like conjecture, what seems to be conjecture turns into stunning fact.
